Walter D
Ever since musician Walter Martey Hammond popularly known as Walter D hit the music scene 5 years ago with songs like Show Your Love To The Orphan and Scoloko ( Kaalaka Mi) which talks about abuse of child, the musician is out again with yet another song Save The Child which is already enjoying air play on the TV Stations.

According to Walter D, children are the future leaders of the nation and he would do all he can to save the child from being abused. Walter D says no musician is focusing on doing songs for children in terms of child abuse that is why he’s come out to reach out to abused children.

Save the child according to Walter D is expected to educate people about the dangers of child abuse especially in the rural areas where child abuse is rampant.

With support from Ministry of Women and Children Affair’s, Glo Ghana, Off the street foundation, South African Embassy in Ghana, Walter D will be launching his foundation come March at the National Theatre to raise money to help needy children in the society and subsequently come out with his album,Save the child .

Walter D said since the release of Show Your Love To The Orphan and Scoloko ( Kaalaka Mi), he had a lot of people coming to him to donate to orphanages when they heard his song on the airwaves. “I believe the donors were touched by the song they heard which speaks on abuse of the child.

He is putting finishing touches to his yet to be released song Peace and Love. He told Newsone he is working with musicians like Atumpan, Castro, Sarkodie among others to bring out a wonderful peace very soon.

Child abuse comes in different forms such as child labour, child molestation, corporal punishment which Walter D says he would tackle.
